Even if you have already been found guilty of one of the above charges, a good attorney is able to prepare sentencing documents which could drastically reduce the sanction that is levied by the Court.

DID YOU KNOW?
The Michigan Compiled Laws provide for a number of sentence deferrals and delays which can keep misdemeanor convictions off of your record.

CRUCIAL MISTAKE TO AVOID
Pleading guilty to a misdemeanor or felony charge without consulting an attorney.
Do not plead guilty to anything before seeking proper legal advice. A guilty conviction may have substantial consequences, impairing your ability to keep your job, obtain a new job, or get into college. Another reason why you need legal representation when charged is because often times a Prosecutor will not avail a non-represented defendant to the best deals that apply to his/her circumstances.
